Hi all, I'm new to this but would like to ask if you guys can give me some sample secondary essay questions? Why should XYZ accept you into this year's class? @font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }Why do you believe XYZ would provide you with the type of osteopathic medical education you are seeking?

Why should XYZ accept you into this year's class?

What are some personal qualities (that you can back up with evidence) that would make you a good medical student in general? Look beyond what's in your application. Can you show that you are a team player? can you show that you would add diversity to the class? Do you have a special skill or asset that is not shown elsewhere?

Why do you believe XYZ would provide you with the type of osteopathic medical education you are seeking?

Here, you should show how XYZ medical school has the qualities that will help you achieve your goal. Take a close look at the school's curriculum, mission statement, and match list. Does this school have a lot of graduates going into primary care? Is there something unique about the curriculum that matches your learning style (e.g. lots of independent study)? Is there research done at the school that closely matches with your research interests? Is it in a geographic location that would be favorable to your circumstances?


Basically, the first question asks, "why should we pick you?" and the second question asks "why would you pick us?" It's actually very different prompts.

I really appreciate you clearing it up for me! 😛

I agree completely what Isoprop said. Seeing as how you are new to SDN (2 posts), I hope you are aware of the ridiculous competition on here and sillyness. With that being said, you are basically asking people to write your essays and seeing previous posts like this, you will get nothing but hostile responses. After all, you are competing with all of us.

Only YOU can write your essays and do it from your heart (yes sounds corny but its true)

Background: DOs rely on their skills in empathy, interviewing and active listening to gather the information they need to provide optimal holistic care to their patients. They are trained to use a whole body approach to diagnosis and treatment. Touch is an integral part of osteopathic care, be it a handshake, a steadying hand on the shoulder, the use of palpation during a structural exam or treatment with osteopathic manipulation. DOs empower their patients by providing education, mentoring and motivation. Patients of DOs rarely leave the office without homework assignments. The doctor/patient relationship here is truly a partnership.

I think Isoprop answered your question most appropriately. Unfortunately, you are probably going to find a total of roughly 0 people that will be willing to send a stranger their essays. The mere fact that you could potentially plagerize and ruin their admission chances would be reason enough. Isoprop gave you some clarification. The first question is really what makes you unique, the second is why is the school a good fit for you. Search your experiences and the school's website to build your essays

Like others says, Isoprop gave you a good run down and idea set to start with.

But seriously? Guess I'm one of those "frustrated" responders. You should be able to answer those questions easily - they're standard questions asked of an applicant in any field. When you apply for a job, in the interview you'll be asked the same basic question(s). So, I guess I'm perplexed as to why you don't understand what they are even asking for.

Good luck!
